AN ORDINANCE ANNEXING TO THE TOWN CF VAIL CERTAIN TERRITORY
SITUATED IN THE NORTH HALF OF SECTION EIGHT (8) , TOWNSHIP
FIVE (5) , SOUTH, RANGE EIGHTY (80) WEST OF THE SIXTH PRIN-
CIPAL MERIDIAN, COUNTY OF EAGLE; AND SETTING FORTH DETAILS
IN RELATION THERETO. was introduced by Larry Robinson, Town
Attorney, and read by the Trustees. Mayor Dobson polled
the Trustees as to whether they had read and understood this
ordinance, and each one replied that they did. Trustee Bailey
moved that Ordinance No. 11, Series of 1971, be adopted, Trustee
Donovan seconded, and those trustees voting in favor were as
follows: Trustee Donovan, Trustee Freeman, Trustee Steinberg,
Trustee Bailev. and Trustee Anderson. Trustee White was not
yet in attendance.
Hans Weibel and Mery Lapin explained their trash removal
service to the Town Trustees. They have purchased two new
trucks and have an investment of approximately $90,000. Weibel
said that some of the customers had complained about the costs
and he was going to try to have curb service to lower costs.
Mayor Dobson and the Trustees felt that leaving trash out on
the curb was probably in violation of one of our ordinances,
but even if it weren't, they felt it was unsightly. A deci-
sion as to what type of garbage containers w i 11 be used was
also put before the Board along with some other problems, and
Mayor Dobson named a committee of Trustees Donovan, Anderson,
and Steinberg to meet with Hans Weibel and Mery Lapin to discuss
these various problems. Terry Minger was requested to set up a
meeting within the next two days.
The Board then discussed an Agreement relating to deposits of
various forms with the Bank of Vail. The Agreement provides
that the Bank of Vail w i 1 1 deposit with the Central Bank and
Trust Company of Denver securities in an amount equivalent to
deposits made by the Town of Vail with the Bank of Vail, so
that in the event there should be any default on the part of
the Bank of Vail, the Town w i 11 be entitled to look to the
securities held by the depository bank. After a discussion of
the terms of the Agreement, a motion was made to approve same
by Trustee Donovan, which was duly seconded by Trustee White.
Upon a vote of the Trustees, the Agreement was unanimously ap-
proved, and the Town Treasurer was authorized to execute same.
Terry Minger, Town Manager, reported on the following:
Everyone seems to agree that the First Vail Symposium was an
enormous success, but Terry Minger wondered why there weren't
more local representation. A meeting w i 11 be held in the near
future to discuss the Symposium.
Mayor Dobson and Terry Minger toured the new municipal complex
and reported that we should be able to move into it by the end
of October.
The paving projects are ahead of schedule, and the money seems
to be going further than expected. The Town streets w i 1 1 be
finished in about two weeks.
Minger then told the Trustees about a Home Rule Workshop being
held in Vail at the Mountain Haus August 26 and 27, sponsored
• by the Colorado Municipal League. Since Vail will be going
Home Rule in January of 1972, it was felt that the Trustees
should be interested in attending this conference.
The Denver water diversion project was again brought up and
Minger showed the Trustees an article showing how Denver planned
to supply Broomfield with water. The VRA is drawing up a resolu-
tion, and it was decided that the Town of Vail should do one
also. It was also felt that we should have a meeting with
William Lucas, Regional Forester, to have him explain his posi-
tion to us.
Charley Gersbach from the VRA asked if one member of the Board
of Trustees could represent the Board and attend the meetings
of the VRA. Gerry White was chosen to represent the Board of
Trustees.
It was decided to change the nights of the Town meetings from
Monday to Tuesday. After a motion by Trustee Donovan and a
second by Trustee White and unanimous vote, it was decided that
an ordinance would be drawn up by the next meeting.
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONVENED AS THE LOCAL LIQUOR LICENSING
AUTHORITY.
The Board convened as the Local Liquor Licensing Authority to
consider expansion of liquor license at the Lord Gore Restaurant
to include their convention room. Trustee White motioned for
approval, Trustee Anderson seconded, and the vote was unanimous
for approval.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at
9:50 P.M.
